Wearable Walkie-Talkies

The Bonx Earbud Offers Two Way Communication Between Freinds

— December 31, 2015 — Tech
The Bonx earbud designs are a modern interpretation of the walkie-talkie for millennial consumers offering a seamless wearable design that offers two way communication with the touch of a button. Unlike old school walkie-talkies that once had to be held for use, these contemporary versions hook up to cellular devices through a mobile app and use Bluetooth technology for seamless and high-quality audio.

When cellular data isn't available, the Bonx walkie-talkies are an ideal solution to facilitate long distance communication. The device is essentially a wearable ear piece that wraps around the ear. Without buttons, the device works with hans-free Bluetooth voice command to communicate with other Bonx headsets. This would be an ideal gadget to use for camping, skiing, snowboarding or canoe trips when having a smartphone on-hand isn't fully functional.
Trend Themes
1. Seamless Wearable Design - The development of wearables with a seamless design presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in industries such as fashion, sports, and healthcare.
2. Smartphone Integration - The integration of walkie-talkie functionality into smartphones through wearable devices opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in telecommunications, outdoor adventure, and logistics industries.
3. Hands-free Voice Command - The advancement of hands-free voice command technology in wearable devices like the Bonx earbuds creates disruptive innovation opportunities in industries such as automotive, hospitality, and emergency services.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion brands can explore the integration of wearable walkie-talkies into clothing or accessories, revolutionizing the way people communicate on the go.
2. Telecommunications - Telecommunication companies can leverage the wearable walkie-talkie trend to create new services and products that enhance communication capabilities for their customers.
3. Outdoor Adventure - Outdoor adventure companies can incorporate wearable walkie-talkies into their equipment, providing a safer and more efficient means of communication for adventurers.
